Should I get paid for a work breakfast?

I am a student and also work for a small IT company that is growing quite fast. The boss can't be in 2 places at once and has asked me if I would like to go to a breakfast with other industry people, ISP providers and vendors… that sort of thing. I am to wear uniform and was told that I would be representing the company. The restaurant I will be going to is an hour drive from my house and I have to be there by 7:30am. I have already agreed to the breakfast but there has been no talk of being paid and I'm not expecting to be paid for it at this point. I was wondering if being paid for these sorts of things is normal or should I just be grateful I'm getting a free meal? Edit for grammar
