Yokohama, Japan
Independent school food. Done properly. Built on 15 years of experience, passion and a belief that every student deserves better.
Our InitiativesWho We Are
Harbour View Services is an independent food service company based in Yokohama, Japan. Founded by Darren Prest and JP Turner, we have been running Dragon Dining at Yokohama International School since 2015 — cooking from scratch, every day, for a community that deserves the very best.
From our kitchen at YIS, we have grown two initiatives that we believe can change the way international schools across Asia think about food — the School Food Collective and True North Food Consultants.
We are independent, passionate and always student first.
Our Initiatives
The Kitchen
Our in-house food service at Yokohama International School. Independent, seasonal and always made from scratch. The heart of everything we do.
Visit Dragon Dining →The Network
A growing network of independent school caterers across Japan and Asia, sharing standards, suppliers and knowledge to raise the bar for every student.
Visit SFC →The Consultancy
Helping schools take back control of their food service — from reviewing current arrangements to building something fully independent.
Visit True North →What We Believe
We answer to our community, not a corporate head office. That freedom means we can always do what's right for the students we feed.
No frozen meals, no shortcuts. We cook real food with fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers every single day.
We believe schools and families deserve to know exactly what is being served and how it was made. No mysteries, no hidden ingredients.
Food is about people. We cook for our community, involve them in what we do, and work to reflect the diversity of every school we serve.
