Bare minimum (ie things you'll use most regularly):
Puncture repair kit
Pump
15mm spanner
Alan keys
Chain lube
I wouldn't bother with anything else at the moment. Agree with winter re buying decent tools though. Shit tools are a false economy (and generally unsatisfactory to use)
Beyond the basics:
After the basics I'd get a track pump - you'll use it weekly so worth getting if there's any extra ££, rather than any other tools which are nice to have but infrequently used.
A chain splitter is good to have but not really used very often. You could get a multitool with one on (although separate ones are generally nicer to use).
You'll only need a chain whip it you're changing sprockets. Doubt you'll do this often. So leave it and borrow one if you need.
