Working in companies that have some Haram activities : working is restaurant that serves alcohol

Fatawa Question

I been living in U.K. About 3 years. I have a question in my mind that is increasing day by day ! When I arrived in U.K. my family faced problem about visa status, my father got work permit visa with a takeaway owner unfortunately the owner cheated us and cancelled my father valid work permit through home office only for money ! And my father borrowed money from relatives for bring us in U. k. So in these crises I started work with buffet restaurant as a waiter where food is Halal but drink was alcohol. I did waiter there about 21 moths. In that time my visa gets expired, so situation get complicated for me .so I depend on watery because I can’t change the job because of my expired visa. I did not want to do watery with alcohol but I tried other job sector unfortunately I failed and my English was so weak, less confidence to find a job. I did 7-month buffet service which is Halal food service. My family depend on my earning money ; I am as well. Now I am working in a Halal take away. The description I give u only to understand my situation. So my question is the wages I took from restaurant as a waiter is going to be Halal or haram ? is Haram then how can I spend it Halal way ? Will it be effect on my prayers, eating, wearing cloths, family shopping in Haram or Halal way ?
