Did maths chem bio n psych. No physics. 3 offers for mechanical and two for chemical. Honestly not sure what to pick? To those who did mechanical without physics a-level how was it?

Chemical engineering is still more physics then chemistry, it’s just about applying physics to: industrial chemical production & processing.
I would focus on what you are passionate about, what you want to “do”. Id note because chemical engineering is very much about how different processes sync together so you can easily move from chemical engineering to “process systems”.
I would really focus on what you are most passionate about, what technologies you want to work on, what industries you want to work in… let this guide you. I think you will do better at what you’re most excited about.

Agree with @mnot: let your passion decide which kind of engineering you would like to study. If you are interest in a thing so much, you find a way to deal with hard lessons. Motivation is the first and a big step for a successful study.
