Well, before asking the question, I'd check whether the Ramsgate-Ostend ferry accepts foot passengers: increasingly, most cross-Channel ferry companies don't.
The quickest way (yes I know what you said...) is train to Ashford, train to Brussels, train to Bruges. All more or less cross-platform connections, with none of the luggage shlepping that's an essential part of the horrors of being a foot passenger on the few ferries that offer the service. You CAN avoid the cross-London tube connection by getting the fast - but premium-priced - train to St Pancras, but it still takes three times as long as the train to Ashford.
Which is cheaper? No idea. Only you know when you're going - so only you can find out the price.

You could also take the Eurolines bus to Bruges from London. The current listed price is 28 pounds. Here is the schedule/fare list

Also the Eurostar to Brussels from Ashford leaves at 06.57 Mon-Fri, at 08.28 on Sat, and at 18.55 on Sundays. Only one departure per day.
The train to Dover, shuttle to the docks and Eurolines to Brugge is maybe easier, and almost certainly cheaper.
