Answer
SteveFrom the second statement, we know that "I" (you) sat to the left of Frank.
The fourth statement states that Steve sat across from Frank. This leaves Peter sitting across from you, and therefore to the right of Frank. Frank is therefore the butcher, from statement three.
If Steve isn't the baker (statement four), then Peter must be the baker, leaving Steve to be the grocer.
