I mow a similar size area every week, and that has discouraged most of the
weeds and allowed grass to grow. You may want to rotovate, rake, roll,
and turf to make it managable while you sort yourself out.

Unless there are any dangerous species in there - like ragwort - you could
consider a couple of goats, and get fresh milk too.

Sound advice. But if the area's reasonably level, I'd just add the
usual warning against rotovating: in case you don't know already, it
encourages perennial weeds by chopping them up into nice root cuttings
and spreading them about. And it sounds as though you wouldn't be too
keen on the thorough raking you'd need to do afterwards, on most
soils.
