The line does seem to be a bit arbitrary.

However, if you said that you served:
- curry sauce
- pickles
- mushy peas
- pea fritters

then I think my default assumption would be that they were all vegetarian. If you label three of them (v) but not the fourth, I get suspicious about that fourth. Of those four, I think curry sauce is the one that mostly likely could be unsuitable for vegetarians, although I'd be very surprised.

Even if you labelled all 4 of them (v), I still think things in another section of the menu (like mineral water) I wouldn't expect to be labelled.

I think mostly the curry sauce appeared un-vegetarian to me because it was in a section where everything else was (slightly unnecessarily) labelled (v).
