If you have sleeping bag (double?), table and chair, you might like to think about a second chair ( ), a bed of some sort (inflatable or self-inflating mat), some extra blankets (it can get cold overnight), a hot water bottle, stove of some sort (unless you'll be eating out all the time?) - a decent make suitcase stove is cheap enough and is fine (like this one) and a couple of gas cannisters to suit.
If taking a stove you'll need a a couple of pans (take from home, with a kettle if you have one that can go on a hob) and some utensils, plates and bowls and cups (again, take some old ones you already have if you don't want to splash out yet on melamine ones especially for camping). Don't forget cutlery, a washing up bowl, cloth / washing up brush, tea towels and some washing up liquid!
It's a good idea to take some basic food stuff with you. You won't need to get a coolbox/fridge yet but of those insulated bags from the supermarket will help provide somewhere for you to store any food. If you freeze a bottle of water (or milk, which you can use as it defrosts) and put it in the bag with the food, it'll help keep things cool for a day or two.
A 5 litre bottle of water (about £1 from every supermarket) will get you started and you can refill it, to store some water instead of traipsing to the tap every time you need some.
You'll need a lantern of some sort and a torch is a good idea too.
Don't forget towels and washing stuff and a loo roll (just in case there isn't one!).
Happy camping!
