IST-LHR flight

I'm scheduled to fly IST-LHR next month in business class on a B773. (Side note: I'm surprised a B773 is scheduled for this route; it seems more common that a A321 or A330 flies this route.) This will be my first time flying TK, so I was just curious what to expect. Everything I've read here seems to indicate TK's business product is very good, especially compared to other flights within Europe.

A few questions:
1. Do you think it's likely there will be an equipment swap from the 773 to 321/330? I get the impression the 773 has a better business class cabin.

2. It's a morning flight, so I would expect breakfast to be served. Any thoughts on what the food options will be? I imagine this flight is considered international (opposed to intercontinental), so the food would be scaled back. I'm ultimately interested in this to make sure I get a meal at the airport lounge, if needed. This flight will be the first segment of a long day of travel.

3. Does this flight typically land at T2 at LHR?

Thanks.
