not for autumn fruiting they will be fine but rarely need a cage ! its too late for summer fruiting they fruit on last years growth . A  row of raspberries will take up over half the cage by the time you leave room to get round them ,you get some strawberries in  :)
I cook therefore I grow

One blackcurrant bush, together with summer raspberries (to fruit next year) would fit nicely into your space with the bush at one end -leave about a metre for it altogether as it will grow quite large - and raspberries in two 1m rows 50cm apart.
