The Golliwog used to appear on Robertson's Marmalade jars for decades. It is just rag doll.
It is a child's toy, much loved over the years. Only a lunatic would think a Golliwog is racist.

Florence Kate Upton did create it based on the blackface minstrels.
And it was used in the period from the 1920s to 1970s as a racial slur for black people and used to mock them.
I don’t think the pub owner means to mock people of a certain skin type, but the doll was used for doing that for a very long time
