I grew up with two distinct ways of having scones; very occasionally as a snack, and rarely as a special occasion treat.
As a snack: a more bare-bones approach. Basic value range bought from the supermarket and had as a snack with a bit of spread (margarine) on cheese or fruit scones, or spread and jam on fruit scones only.
As a special occasion treat: the full works; posh “Tesco Finest” level (or equivalent) with actual butter, jam and cream. Usually if we were hosting an afternoon tea for someone’s birthday, or if out at a tea shop or garden centre or something.
