I don't think the singular reference to THE pub in Bigland necessarily implies that there was only one pub in the town or village, just that there was the one pub that the Billies frequented when they were there.
Most people would say, "I'm just going down the pub", even in a city with hundreds of pubs because it means THE pub that they are regulars at. If they go to more than one, they might say "I am off to the Rose and Crown".
