Default Grass Mower?

I have an allotment plot with pathway down the middle - about 100 ft in
length and 2.5ft wide. At the moment it is just bear compacted earth with
containing gravel boards running along the length on either side. I am
thinking of grassing it over. But then I will need to mow it.

Would a simple light-weight pull/push mower do the job OK; or maybe a
battery-powered machine?

I just want to keep the grass neat and tidy without it muddying up or
anything.

Any suggestions/recommendations on what to buy?

Use bark chippings, gravel, slabs... anything but grass. Just my opinion.

Forget chippings and gravel. Every time you step off the earth, especially
if it is a bit wet, you bring the chippings or stones with you. Been there,
done that, got rid of it.
