Suggest a mixture that doesn't contains ryegrass.
Having no ryegrass helps make the lawn slow growing, with the right mix a slower growing grass will still produce a hard wearing quality lawn. Only draw back is the the ryegrass is normally very quick to germinate and start getting the lawn off to a quick start, the creepings take a little longer.
Aim for a mix containing a high percentage of Creeping Red and Chewings Fescue and slightly lower % of Browntop bent etc.
Have not used this company before but the price looks good and a fairly nice blend of grasses.

Does anyone have any tips for levelling such a large area? I'm used to 80m2 turfing jobs where rakes are sufficient.
I do however like the accurate "drop / spread" of the drop spreaders and should really invest in one. If I did I would probably look at the TROJAN DS because it has a capacity of 45 Kg with an effective spread width of over 90cm and the real reason if honest - It looks built for the job! Now only if my bank manager could be as excited about this as me :-)
