Independent school food. Done properly. Built on 15 years of experience, passion and a belief that every student deserves better.

Our Initiatives

Who We Are

Built on belief.
Driven by purpose.

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

Three connected
ideas. One mission.

What We Believe

Every child deserves
real food.

Independent

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.

From Scratch

No frozen meals, no shortcuts. We cook real food with fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers every single day.

Transparent

We believe schools and families deserve to know exactly what is being served and how it was made. No mysteries, no hidden ingredients.

Community

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.

Get in Touch

We'd love to
hear from you.
