Literally, it's a pail. Hopefully a clean one.
In 1900, McKinley's campagin slogan was "A fulldinner pail".
It means to have enough to eat. The reference is to workers who carry a dinner pail to work with them.

Oh, dude, that's like William McKinley, you know, the 25th President of the United States. He was all about that "full dinner pail" vibe, like, keeping people fed and happy. So, yeah, he was all about that "four more years" slogan before it was cool.
President William McKinley started the full dinner pail. It was used as a campaign slogan during the presidential election of 1900.

Pail - like a water pail
it can be both, like saying.. "Would you like to come to dinner" which can just mean a small just dinner type thing i guess and "would you like to come for dinner" i think would meanlike a party type dinner.
It would depend on the size of the pail.
Dinner and a movie.
