Also doesn't this suggest it would have been tight to get to the hotel in time to eat? The Mail said the hotel was serving food until 9am and this shows a call finishing at 8:40 with a 15 min walk to the hotel?

I don’t think the prior planning is in any way relevant. Either the event breached the rules, or it didn’t.
It might be relevant here perhaps to remind ourselves that Boris Johnson had not pre-planned the birthday cake surprise!
