Thinking about whatever it is that pubs use to clean their tables. It seems
suitably sticky. Is it necessary to pre-coat the surface with varnish to
get the best effect?

I suggest that you use a different pubs rather than the ones that use
the same rag to wipe the urinals, the toilet door handle and to mop up
spilt drink from the tables.

Poor cleanliness at the front of house is usually reflected in poor
cleanliness in the cellar and kitchens and is indicative of the
management believing that the public own them a living.

They are using a cleanser that is COSHH Compliant - doesn't harm anyone -
but is fairy useless. It leaves a sticky residue as a way of making the
cleaning easy to audit.
(seriously this is a very well cared for place - just poor choice of
cleaning material)

if it leaves a sticky residue it's not clean!

I think its a mixture of stale beer, and some kind of cleaning product. It
actually used to also be used in some cafes with those plastic table cloths.
You could also find that there were chunks of chewing gum under the table
for the most customer experience.
grin.
I know what you mean though.
