Meet the Team Behind Dorset Shellfish

Caroline Drever
Caroline leads the shore-side operations, expertly cooking and crafting delicious crab and fish dishes. Coming from a farming background, she combines her love of cooking with her passion for the sea. Caroline is actively involved with Dorset Farmers Markets and, when time allows, enjoys walking her three Labradors along the beautiful Dorset coast.

Stef Chaloner
Stef grew up around boats, fishing, and the sea, so she’s no stranger to hard work. She co-manages the shore-side business alongside Caroline and is familiar with every detail of the operation. Stef enjoys representing Dorset Shellfish at events and markets across the South West, and in her free time, she loves paddleboarding in the sunshine.

Graham Noble (The Captain)
Graham has been a commercial fisherman since his school days, starting with his first boat and now captaining the Marauder WH22. His day begins early, often leaving the harbour at 4:30 am to catch the morning tide and returning each evening with the day’s fresh catch. Graham also serves as the chief taster for Caroline’s recipes—a role he takes seriously, given his love for crab and fish.

Karl Noble (Deck Boss)
Following in his father’s footsteps, Karl is an experienced fisherman and the current holder of the boat’s record for the largest catch. He works full-time alongside Graham and enjoys friendly competition, especially when bass fishing with the boys.

Paul Chaloner (Deck Crew)
Paul, Stef’s husband, is relatively new to commercial fishing but brings enthusiasm and dedication to the deck team. He enjoys competing with Karl for the biggest fish and has proudly served on the Weymouth Lifeboat crew for 16 years.

Together, this family-run team combines tradition, skill, and passion to bring the freshest Dorset shellfish from sea to shore.
