Default Cranberry

Hi a couple of months ago I purchased a cranberry from a garden centre, due to the information I planted it the wrong type of soil, It is doing well but has no berries or flowers on it, should I have berries by now. I've changed soil and given
it a good feed with the the correct type of feed will that give me fruit either this year or next.

Depends on how old the plant was when you purchased it. Don't know how many years it takes for them to fruit but as they are bushy type plants I would have thought in second or third year. I bought two last year and was expecting to get a few berries this year but like you no sign of flowers yet.

I only got them this year, so I expect I will just have to be patient,

No cranberry sauce this year then
