Default 232L bakelite telephone and No 26 Bellset

I am trying to set up the telephone and bellset.
The bellset was supplied as converted and has the 3.3K resistor fitted.
It has a cord fitted with a plug to go in the telephone socket. The white and blue connectors are connected to the bellset and a third connector has been cut off.
I understand the telephone has been converted and the handset is wired as per the internal wiring diagram.
My dilema is I have no idea how to connect them both and what specification cord I need to join them together.
Does both the telephone and bellset have to be plugged into a twin socket?
Can you buy a cord with spade connections at each end, and is this what I should be doing anyway?
In other words is the two connected and only the bellset plugged in to the telephone line?
I play a pretty good game of snooker, but have limited knowledge of telephony.
Any guidance is going to be much appreciated.
