After the success of his Russell’s on the Port restaurant, seasoned UK entrepreneur and restaurateur, Russell Foster envisaged a family-friendly establishment, which invites patrons of all ages to take full advantage of the panoramic view of the Port Owen Marina on the West Coast, while enjoying a wide variety of mouth-watering meals in a relaxed atmosphere.
And so Charlie’s Brewhouse was born…

Proudly born and bred West-Coaster Thys, holds numerous qualifications in bartending and a Chef School certificate. His mission is to get Charlie’s Brewhouse trending alongside the best eateries on the West Coast, while ensuring every patron enjoys a truly memorable experience. He ends his day with the Mushroom Pasta, washed down with a Charlie’s Lager (and maybe a shot of Tequila!).

Russell Foster, Owner, Charlie’s Brewhouse
“The Cape West Coast is a beautiful part of the world. The waterways in the Port Owen Marina attract bird watching enthusiasts, boaters, canoeists, fishermen and families to just generally enjoy the outdoors. I could not think of a better place to launch Charlie’s Brewhouse, or of a better spot to sit and enjoy a craft beer and a delicious meal – looking out over the water, watching the boats go by and relaxing with friends and family. I am very excited about this new venture and to welcoming you to Charlie’s Brewhouse.”
