You could do a lot worse than one of these starter kits

As it says, you'll need bottles (either save some up or blag some empties from your local), and a capper and caps, or a pressure barrel. You can even use plastic bottles from the supermarket and this might be a good idea for you -- I have used cheap supermarket water 2l bottles and the 33cl ones.

I would prob use pressure barrels is this better than bottles ?

No, it's not better. It's different -- I like bottles because I find it easier to stop at one...

And it's nice to be able to carry a few over to a party. But pressure barrels are less effort to clean and fill up... Take your pick. I haven't got a pressure barrel but am probably going to get a King Keg (Bottom tap) at some point. I can see myself bottling about half a batch and barrelling the rest. For example...
